Berlin Recycling

We are an agile medium-sized Berlin recycling company and a 100% subsidiary of the Berliner Stadtreinigung (BSR). With over 300 employees and 100 garbage trucks, we ensure every day that our dynamically growing Berlin remains clean and personable.

Our active contribution to this is the design of state-of-the-art urban recycling. Starting with the household-related disposal and recycling of cardboard, paper, cardboard as well as glass and industrial waste, the destruction of files and data carriers, the implementation of extensive container services for non-hazardous and hazardous waste, and the operation of ultra-modern sorting and recycling plants: we always put the perspective of our customers at the center of our actions and advice.

That is why we see ourselves as a source of inspiration for a future-proof and livable Berlin, especially for the people who live, work or are our visitors!
